Sreeting 

'feo Our dlTembers ! 

The 9Tew S/ear commences with happy auspices for the pros- 
perity of the Society of Colonial Wars in the State of California. 

qA satisfactory 'treasury, and the enthusiastic loyalty of the 
gentlemen associated in this organization, are an assurance to those 
who founded this Societij, that their efforts to establish a permanent 
integral unit of the Seneral Society were not in vain. 

Since our Shird Seneral (Sourt another Society on the Pacific 
Coast has been received into the Union. On November 16, 1898, a 
Charter was granted to a Society in the State of Washington, insti- 
tuted at Spokane, with the Jionorable Hohn.Jiennedy Stout as Gov- 
ernor. We extend to the gentlemen of that Society our congratula- 
tions and most cordial well-wishes for their success. Five of those 
gentlemen loere our fellow members up to the convening of our last 
Seneral Court, when they withdreio from us feeling that their adher- 
ence was due to their home Society. 

We take great pride in the very honorable record of this Soci- 
ety in the loar loith Spain. We gave seven of our members to the 
service of the Sovernment in that contest, to-wit : 

Colonel William oAnthony Slderkin of the Commissary 'de- 
partment, and 

Captain Charles Lee Collins, Slevcnth infantry, both of the 
regular oArmy. 

Lieutenant Commander Sosiah Rumball Stanton, of the d'iavy. 

^ajor Prank Clarke Prescott, and 

First Lieutenant Charles Putnam Fenner, of the Seventh Reg- 
iment infantry, California Bolunteers.

Sergeant Gameron Q)cfsart Tlioiii, and 

Sergeant Gatesby Charles Thorn, of JSattery Q), Qalifornia 
jHeaDijoArtillerg. These last named. Thorn brothers, are now serv- 
ig loith their Qommand at dTCanila. Way they both come home 
th straps on their shoulders and commissions in their pockets. 
Only three of our members have neglected to send their photo- 
graphs and biographies and our records in this behalf are very sat- 
isfactory. The Society oAlbum is a very attractive feature in our 
bibrarij. it is hoped that during the coming year the Qoimcil will 
feel Justified in ordering the publication of the Society oBook, for 
which many are looking with expectation. 

oAt our Pouith Seneral Qourt, an amendment to Article Bi of 
the My-Laws loas adopted, making the term of office of the Sen- 
tlenien of the Council three years, and providing for the election of 
three members every year, leaving six members to hold over. 

'^he Second Seneral (^Assembly will be held at JSaltimore, 
'Maryland, in STlay, 1899. Jls the Seneral ^Assembly meets only 
triennially, matters of importance to the welfare of all the State 
Societies loill he discussed, and we hope to be represented on that 
occasion by some of our 'delegates or ^Alternates. 

With the heartiest wishes for a Jiappij 0Tew S/ear to you all 
and an expression of my profound appreciation of the honors con- 
ferred upon myself 

i subscribe myself 

IS'ery sincerely your servant,
